Explain What Happened In Chapter 7 Of The Great Gatsby

In chapters 11 through 16 i agree with Shane's actions at the end of the novel. In chapter 11 , “lew johnson and henry shipstead brought “ joe and everyone else news. Fletcher was back with a man named Stark Wilson who was “ a bad one and a killer “ according to Will Atkey. Later frank torrey comes to tell them that “Ernie’s shot, They've killed him.”. He was shot by Stark Wilson. Joe and Shane both know that Wilson will do they same to them if don't sell or give up their land and give it to fletcher. Joe doesn't anymore trouble so he tells marian “Fletcher can have his way. Well sell out and move on”. Marian tells joe that “ He'd never forgive us if we ran away from this.”. In chapter 12 when Shane and joe come back from Ernie's funeral they “heard the

Chapter seven starts with Gatsby changing his whole life around. He no longer hosts parties every week, he doesn't need to anymore because he has Daisy. He also fires his past servants and replaces them with workers of Meyer Wolfsheim, since he does not want any gossip around him. To Nick’s surprise, Gatsby was headed over to Tom’s house to have lunch. It is the hottest day of the year when this lunch is happening. The group hears Tom yelling at Mr.Wilson on the telephone. Gatsby sees Pammy, Daisy’s daughter and is somewhat irritated because he realizes how much more complicated the situation had become and the fact that there is living proof of Tom and Daisy’s love. Tom finds out about the affair when Daisy’s tone shifted when she spoke to

Myrtle Wilson, the wife of George, and the lover of Tom Buchanan, is brutally murdered toward the end of the novel. After an uncivilized afternoon in New York, Daisy and Gatsby head swiftly back to East Egg. Gatsby explains to Nick, “It all happened in a minute, but it seemed to me that she wanted to speak to us, thought we were somebody she knew” (Fitzgerald 109). Myrtle ran out toward the car looking for Tom but sadly for her it is not him. Many know about Tom’s affair, but not with whom he is having it, especially Daisy. Daisy never slows the car down, and she never realizes who she hits. This shows that Daisy is oblivious to Myrtles existence. Myrtle is sleeping with her husband, she ruins their marriage, and Daisy kills her. The irony exists in this because Daisy actually saves her marriage by killing

You may ask, “Who would do such a thing, killing a innocent man?” “And, on top of that to kill him in his beautiful home?” Well I have the answer for you ladies and gentleman. The person guilty of this monstrous crime is Tom Buchanan. Tom Buchanan is brute, imperious, and just like his wife Daisy he is a careless man; crushing and destroying lives in his path. As well, Tom is a cheater; let's not forget he’s having an affair with another woman: Myrtle wilson. Above all Tom Buchanan is a killer. Today I will be presenting several pieces of evidences that Tom is at fault for the death of Mr. Jay Gatsby.

In the beginning of the novel the narrator Nick Carraway says, “Gatsby turned out all right in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”. Well we don’t know how justified Nick is saying this since it’s in the beginning of the novel. So we only see Gatsby through Nick’s eyes, so all of our opinions of him are based on what Nick sees and thinks. I can assume what he writes about Gatsby is the truth, since Nick says he reserves all judgments. I believe what he says because he makes us trust him through his comments on the first few pages. For example, on the very first page of the book Nick says, “Gatsby represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn”. Even though, Nick had doubts towards he could not help but admire him. From the beginning when Nick first met Gatsby he recognized his faults, but Nick still liked Gatsby. Nick is attracted to Gatsby’s bright and understanding smile. That’s why I feel like Nick said “Gatsby turned out all right in the end”.

Quotation #1: “In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face” (141).

Argument insured, Tom tells Gatsby to take her home after she won’t say that she’ll leave Tom for Gatsby. They leave in Gatsby’s car, while everyone else leaves in Tom’s car. To get back home, they inevitably pass Tom’s mistress’s house. Myrtle had also gotten into an argument with her husband, and when she thought she saw Tom coming back by, she ran out into the street. It wasn't Tom in the car this time though, it was Daisy, and she didn’t stop.

In Chapter 2 on page 37, Tom shows Nick his apartment where he meets Tom's mistress, Myrtle. Next thing Nick knows he’s drunk being surrounded by strangers. Nick gets uncomfortable being there. Myrtle is openly unhappy with her marriage, On the other hand, Tom wants to keep Daisy separate from the situation. Tom then hits Myrtle.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a significant example of the principle that powerful messages could not only be told, but also shown through by the setting. In the opening of chapter 4, it starts off at the bridge. Nick describes his scenery with approval. There’s a sense of beauty. It’s obvious that he’s taken in by what he sees, “in its first wild promise of all the mystery and beauty of the world”. It’s known from previous chapters, that when Fitzgerald mentions something beautiful, there is always a false undertone. He then mentions the funeral bringing the reader back to the idea that nothing beautiful last forever. The next scene in chapter 4 takes place at forty second street. Fitzgerald chooses the lunch between the two to

Chapter seven of The Great Gatsby is crucial to the plot. In chapter seven, the author utilizes Nick, to illustrate, the environments and the characteristics. The author illustrates the environments and the characteristics going on in chapter seven by using rhetoric. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of The Great Gatsby, uses diction, figurative language, and selection of detail to impact the audience.

Myrtle Wilson was in love with Tom Buchanan. She wanted to leave her husband to be with Tom, but he had no intentions of leaving Daisy to be with Myrtle. “... he heard Mrs. Wilson’s voice, loud and scolding, down-stairs in the garage. ‘Beat me!’ he heard her cry. ‘Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!’ A moment later she rushed out into the dusk, waving her hands and shouting - before he could move from his door, the business was over” (137). Myrtle thought that the car, coming down the road, driven by Daisy, was being driven by Tom as that is the car he was driving earlier that day. She thought that Tom would stop for her and that she would be able to go away with him and get away from her husband; instead, she was killed by Daisy and indirectly killed through her affair with Tom. Similarly, Gatsby was killed as a consequence of Daisy and Tom’s actions. “The touch of a cluster of leaves revolved it slowly, tracing, like the leg of transit, a thin red circle in the water” (162). George Wilson shot Gatsby in anger as he thought that it was Gatsby who was having the affair with Myrtle. Wilson thinks this because Tom told his that Gatsby was the one driving the car that hit Myrtle. Wilson came to the conclusion that Gatsby had hit Myrtle with the car to cover up the affair. This makes Gatsby’s caused by Tom, because he told Wilson that Gatsby was driving the car, and

“All the bright precious things fade so fast and they don’t come back.” Daisy Buchanan's words which can be applied to the dreams that the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby all chased throughout the story. In The Great Gatsby, the story is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a veteran who dreams of making it rich on Wall Street. Everyone chases their own dreams; meanwhile surrounded by the iconic lifestyle that defined the 1920’s and the corrupt world that Fitzgerald depicts. Things take a dark turn when Tom Buchanan finds out about his wife’s affair with Gatsby. In The Great Gatsby the protagonist seeks out his dreams which are destroyed after he finally gets the chance to live them out. Fitzgerald’s use of setting, motifs, and symbolism clearly convey a theme of dream chasing particularly with the notoriously infamous Jay Gatsby.

The accidental death of Myrtle Wilson has an immense effect on moral decay. Daisy hits Myrtle Wilson while driving Gatsby’s car, and she proceeds to keep driving. Due to the foolish but passionate love Gatsby still has for Daisy; he will take responsibility for Daisy’s action. This leads to Tom describing the incident as “He ran over Myrtle like you’d run over a dog and never even stopped his car.” (Fitzgerald 142-143).

American novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, in his novel The Great Gatsby specifically in chapter 9, depicts the aftermath of Gatsby, who left a legacy in the home of West Egg. Fitzgerald’s purpose is to reminisce the memories of Gatsby that he left to Nick during the time they were together. He uses imagery and sentimental diction in order to express Nick’s dejected attitude by coping over Gatsby’s death and the influence Gatsby had over Nick’s life and immerse the audience to a sense of longing for Nick.

One hot summer day in Chicago, Gatsby hosts a pool party at his house. All of Gatsby’s friends come to the party. Tom finds out about the party and decides to come with his friends. Tom sees his ex girlfriend Daisy at the party with Gatsby. Tom whispers to his friends, “I swear I hate seeing them together.” The group laughs, and tells him that he should do something about it. Tom smirks and walks up to Gatsby and says “I’m here to take my girl back,” Gatsby laughs at Tom and asks “What are you going to do about it?” Tom punches Gatsby in the stomach and Gatsby pulls out a gun and shoots in the air. Tom and everyone at the screams in terror. Tom and his friends run from the party, Gatsby chases them out of the yard into the street, and they
